3. Hypothesis for Trial 3. If the paper is crumpled and dropped, it would hit the ground much faster
than the flat sheet paper since it would have same mass (as the flat paper sheet) but much less
surface area (as the flat sheet) to offer less & less air resistance. It approximately hits the ground at
the same instance as that of the book.
4. Trial 3 Paragraph. Once we dropped the crumpled paper, it exactly followed our hypothesis & hit the
ground much faster than the flat sheet paper since the surface area was much less (as the flat sheet
paer) & it faced less air resistance. It actually hit the ground at approximately the same instance as
the book itself.
